In an exciting announcement, WWE®, in partnership with Haslam Sports Group and the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, revealed that Cleveland has been chosen to host the prestigious WWE SummerSlam event. The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, August 3, 2024, at the iconic Cleveland Browns Stadium.

The city of Cleveland will be buzzing with activity throughout the week leading up to SummerSlam. On August 2, the excitement will kick off with Friday Night SmackDown, held at the Rocket Mortgage FieldHouse. WWE has planned a series of fan and community events, offering an unforgettable experience for wrestling enthusiasts.

Cleveland, known for its rich history in WWE, boasts several WWE Superstars hailing from the city, including Logan Paul, The Miz, and Johnny Gargano. This marks the first time in nearly three decades since SummerSlam was held in Cleveland, with the last event taking place in August 1996.

Paul "Triple H" Levesque, WWE Chief Content Officer, expressed his enthusiasm about bringing SummerSlam, SmackDown, and a range of events to Cleveland. The collaboration with Haslam Sports Group and the Greater Cleveland Sports Commission aims to showcase Cleveland as an exceptional destination for hosting major events.

David Jenkins, Chief Operating Officer of Haslam Sports Group, highlighted the economic impact the event will have on the region. Hosting the premium live event at Cleveland Browns Stadium is expected to generate significant revenue and further establish Northeast Ohio as a prime location for hosting major sporting events.

David Gilbert, President and CEO of Greater Cleveland Sports Commission, commended the opportunity to host WWE SummerSlam. He emphasized that the event would boost Cleveland's reputation as a premier city for hosting major events in the United States. The SummerSlam event in 2024 will be the largest WWE event ever hosted in Ohio, showcasing Cleveland's vibrant downtown, authentic experiences, and exciting attractions.

The announcement follows last year's record-breaking SummerSlam event held at Ford Field in Detroit. With a new gate record of $8.5 million, the event became the highest-grossing non-WrestleMania event until it was surpassed by the 2024 Royal Rumble. Additionally, it marked the most-watched SummerSlam in WWE history.

More information on ticket sales will be announced in the coming months. Fans can also look forward to SummerSlam Priority Passes, which will be available through exclusive partner On Location. These passes will provide fans with a chance to purchase ticket packages before they go on sale to the general public. The packages include premium seating, pre-show hospitality with WWE Superstar appearances, ringside photo opportunities, exclusive merchandise, deluxe accommodations, and more.

The WWE SummerSlam event at Cleveland Browns Stadium is set to be an unforgettable experience for fans and is expected to significantly benefit the local economy. With its stellar lineup of events and a host of enthusiastic WWE Superstars, the 2024 SummerSlam is sure to make an impact as one of the most memorable wrestling showcases ever hosted in Ohio.
